I am trying to create a form using radio buttons to select a person for an email...for instance...
Send email to:
Joe
Fred
Lucy
When a person selects the Fred radio button, then the value will be set to fred@myweb.com . I don't want the email address to be visible on the page.
I thought the radio button field would have a 'value' and a 'label' but only seems to include value.
How do you accomplish this?
Thanks,
Warren

Use the Drop Down element and then select "Use as Contact List".
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Thanks for the quick reply Eric...I will give that a shot. I was not aware of a "Use as Contact List" option.
I had considered using the dropdown list, but wanted the names to be visible.
Thanks,
Warren

That is possible.
Option 1:Name<you@domain.com>
Option 1:Name<you@domain.com>
Option 1:Name<you@domain.com>
Change to:
Joe:<you@domain.com>
Fred:<you@domain.com>
Lucy:<you@domain.com>
Option 1:Name<you@domain.com>
Option 1:Name<you@domain.com>
Option 1:Name<you@domain.com>
Change to:
Joe:<you@domain.com>
Fred:<you@domain.com>
Lucy:<you@domain.com>

Hi Soren,
Thanks for the feedback, but I guess that I didn't communicate clearly.
Using the dropdown only one name appears at a time on the form.
I wanted to use the radio buttons so all of the names would be there all the time.
Thanks,
Warren

Hiya james,
If you set the dropdown to required it will force a choice and it will add a selection in the first slot saying something like "Choose one"
This will make it more obvious that there are other choices. There is no real other way to do the set up you want other than the dropdown.

As Jo Ann says there is no other way to do it.
Have a look at the attached picture.
The field is set to required.
Vælg modtager= Select recipient
Below this is the names of the person you want to contact.
It's in Danish, but will show you how it looks like.
But as I understand it, you want the full list to be visible at all times.
I don't think this is possible.

If there's 10 choices in your formname.html enter a size="10" in the drop down code to show them all.
<select size="10">Options.......</select>
<select size="10">Options.......</select>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I am also wondering if it might be possible to use a list box instead of a dropdown now that you mention it Eric. I don't think list boxes have the ability to do the list items as emails but I could be wrong there. If not though it would be a good suggestion for the program.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
